Drive train shaking under load...need help diagnosing

It feels like its coming from the pass side but I'm not sure. Car bounces/shakes after I have let the clutch out during normal driving but only when I'm accelerating or putting load on the drivetrain. Especially if I'm at cruising speed and give it gas while in a higher gear. But as soon as a let off the gas it's smooth as ****. My car is LOW so it it a cv balance prob? Wheel bearings? Blown cv axle? Input from experience would be greatly appreciated!

I had a similar symptom that turned out to be motor mounts. As soon as I was on the gas I had vibration, shaking and the car was squirelly as hell. It could clearly also be an axle issue, but in my experience with faulty axles the vibration was not limited to what you describe as they tended to vibrate/shake most of the time.
